Verified review

6/10 Good

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room clean but not enough towels for 2 people. Only 1 set was given. Continental breakfast was minimal at best had to wait for coffee to be made then put in a thermos. It seems like they are trying to make it better so I give it a 5 out of 10…

Hippy check in guy was awesome and friendly. The room is what you expect at this price point. It's rough but it was clean and staff seemed eager to assist with anything. Good little place to bail for a night and party in Chico. You can walk everywhere.

Great location. Walking distance from downtown. It’s old and in bad shape though. Merely a bed and a shower. Probably a bit overpriced still.

I have stayed many times across the street and this is my first time staying here and I will say I will be staying here from now on this place by far I kept up on maintenance the rooms are up dated and the staff is friendly to each other the hotel across the street is the exact opposite and they had me convinced this place was worse then there hotel and it’s the opposite it’s so much better

Really great front desk staff. The young man who was a Chico state student was great 10/10. Room was not super clean & it was dated....but what can you expect? Definitely a budget hotel. You can walk to campus within 15 minutes, downtown in 5. Great location

It is a noisy area, and not very clean. Excellent staff though.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Some of the clientele was very questionable. The employees were all very nice and even had to intervine with questionable tenants. The location was great for my needs. Next time I'll try the place across the street or around the corner. The door jambs on some of the rooms look like the door had been kicked in, door was fine, but the jamb leaves a question of what happened.

Cleanliness

Front desk people were nice. The cleaning staff should be fired, had to ask for 2 different rooms to be changed because of cleanliness. Beds were uncomfortable.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Nice check-in/desk guy. Bathroom had not been cleaned before our stay. Dirt on floor and hair in tub. One of two beds had very squeaky springs. Other bed was comfy. TV worked well.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Unfortunately, the room next to me was up late, loud banging on door, cops, shouting. I did not feel completely safe. However staff was exceptional, kind, patient and I would recommend them.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is an older motel in downtown Chico, so the decor is a little dated and the rooms are showing their age. I’d say this is an OK place, given the price, location and free parking. I had noisy neighbors (until 2 am) above me, but that was just bad luck. Didn’t hear or see other problems with guests. Check-in ws fast and easy; guy behind the desk was very nice.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very nice respectful check in person. Room had a strong odor of smoking. Bathroom door did not close properly. Other than that it’s a place to sleep.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Room did not match photos at all. Weird spots on bathroom wall (mold that wasn’t cleaned properly?), toilet rings, extremely uncomfortable mattresses. Staff member who checked us in was helpful when there was zero toilet paper in the tiny bathroom.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The people were extremely nice. But I arrived a little early and they gave me a room which apparently didn’t log it. So at 5 AM there were two people trying to get into my room thank god I had the extra lock in place. Then the shower didn’t work and when I notified them they went in to fix it. So my second morning it still didn’t work.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The young man at the desk was very nice and quickly moved me to to another room when I asked. The second room, although having more light, was really shabby. The bedspread (it was a no smoking room) had burn holes and you could feel the springs through the mattress. I was hoping I could attach photos to show you the bathroom! Cracked tile, ugly yellow stains all around the sink and toilet and the tub/shower had awful stains too. It was graduation weekend so I expected the price to reflect that, but $250 a night for a dump like this is outrageous.I do want to give kudos to the two staff members I dealt with- they were friendly and very helpful.

2/10 Poor

DIRTY

Overall this hotel is atrocious and no one should stay there, ever. But even the worst hotel (and this is) have a few things going for them, so here they are: 1) location - it is in downtown Chico within walking distance of the university 2) the sheets were clean and the mattress was comfortable 3) the parking lot was brightly lit 4) the front desk clerk was friendly and helpful Do not in any way let those 4 things lead you to believe that this hotel is ok, because isn't. This hotel is DIRTY and DISGUSTING. There was dirty laundry in the closet, a clearly used-for-s*x towel behind the door, the floors were too dirty to walk on, and the real kicker is that the shower and tub were completely unusable. By unusable I mean there was a hole in the wall in place of the contraption that would send water out of the shower head, and there was no plug to use it as a tub. I asked to use an iron, which they gave me, but it was filthy. The ironing board was broken. The cabinet doors were broken. The sink was stained. The mirrors were dirty. I stayed at this hotel out of sheer desperation because my original reservation was lost (either by the hotel or hotels.com, not sure which) and every other hotel near the college was sold out due to"family weekend". I was there to visit my daughter so location was my #1 priority. This hotel is gross. Trust me. BTW - I have spent 30-50 nights a year in hotels every year for 20+ years and have never left a bad review.
